INCIDENT OF THE WAR OF lSl2-On a sum-
mer's day in the year 1872. a curious spectacle
was exhibited in the town of Staunton. The
people of the town were somewhat familiar
with the sight of drunken men-it must be
remembered that the Temperance Reforma-
ton" had not then arisen;-but on the day in
question whole drove Of pigs appeared on
the streets in beastly state of intoxication.
Like human eings in the same sad plight
each pig exhibited his peculiar traits of char
acter without the slightest reserve or attempt
at concealment One pig was decidedly war
like in his tendencies-perhaps the spirit
of the times created his combativeness,-
at any rate, he wanted to fight everybody
and every thing. Another overlooked with love
and affection for his fellows and all animal
creation. "A third gave way to the most exu-
berant hilarity .frisking about and fairly laugh
ing. SO full was he of happiness. While a
fourth was overcome with drowsiness, and
sought repose without regard to the fitness
of the place. Every one of the party that
could keep on his legs went realing along in
the most sham eless manner, to the no small
surprise of the whole population. old topers
included. The most rigid inquiry failed for
a long while to discover who had furnished
the liquor. Every body wanted to know-the
sober-sided people, that they might punish the
author of such public scandal, and the other
sort that they might visit with reprobation
the man who had wasted upon pigs what be-
Ionged specially to themselves.
At last the truth leaked out. Various mill
tary companies were then in port, preparing
for the war. One OF them belonging to the
town had muster on the day referred to, or
the day before, and the Captain, a man noted
throughout his Ii fe for strict sotrety felt that
1t was his patriotic duty to give the men a lit
tie treat. Thereupon he procured from his
wife's pantry supply of branded cherries.
intended to be used only sin case of sicknes')
and distributed them to his command. OF
course he had to taste the cherries himself. He
ate some of them, and being unaccustomed to
such indulgence the brandy FLEW to his
head" He was always remarkable for his
amiable disposition, and now he felt the most
irresistible desire to crafty his feelings in the
bosom of his family. He FASTENED home, sa-
luted his wife and children, aod at once be.
trayed the cause of the unusual demonstra-
ton. The good wife was amazed, She traced
the matter to the cherries. and being equal to
the occasion the whole lot was by her order
emptled into the gutter. There the pigs found
them, and fed upon them to their dire dis
grace. It was the first time the captain had
been so overcome. and 1t was the last. K.
